We are asking physicians, clinicians, and staff across the country to participate in our White Sock Campaign. The goal is to raise awareness of the connection between PAD and diabetes and the importance of early vascular care – we do this by wearing one simple and visible tool: a white sock.

If we are to reverse the alarming trends associated with diabetes, wounds,and amputation, we must engage the public. People don’t know what they don’t know. Until there is a shift in the public’s perception and an associated outcry that demands better, things will likely worsen.

Step up for the White Sock Campaign, @thesalsalorg’s social media campaign to advocate for early detection and diagnosis of PAD and honor amputees. Put on one white sock, post your photo, and tag it!

Mission & Vision

To reduce the number of lower extremity amputations and improve the quality of life of our fellow citizens who are afflicted with wounds and complications from diabetes and peripheral arterial disease.

We will accomplish these goals using advanced evidence-based methods, educating health-care practitioners and patients, through community outreach, philanthropy and patient advocacy.

We must modernize hospital policy regarding amputation, educate practitioners and empower patients to advocate for themselves.
